There are different definitions of morality. People gather people's moral and literally means and procedures to be
used. Dehkhoda dictionary meaning of moral behavior is expressed. English word in the Webster's dictionary
(Webster) means the study of human behavior is right and wrong. Morteza Motahari also a professor in practical

population, and the education of ethics, It can be said that the divine revelations and raising people's introduction to
the issue of self-purification is what the original purpose of the ethics Form. Ethics is one of its components,
including rules and procedures that are acceptable to be used in a career. [5]
Moral and ethical paradigms:
Regardless of the ethics of both positive and negative aspects of it will refer to the morality of those positive traits
that are consistent with community norms refers, World Encyclopedia of Philosophy (4002) says:
Questions of ethics, also called moral philosophy of, which includes organizing, defense, and offers legal concepts
and behavior can be Philosophers today usually ¬ ethical theories into three general subject of meta-ethics, legal
ethics (normative), they split Applied Ethics.
Meta-ethics that examines ethical principles whence originates is and what it is called. Normative ethics are more
practical tasks ethical standards should be. The common law of bad results is included in the on speech and good
manners. Finally, applied ethics involves examining specific controversial issues is.
In accounting, the emphasis is more on normative ethics, What are the rules and standards, both personal and
professional standards of the profession There is a decision to conduct?
Decision rules of ethical conduct of accountants, the reality is that a a professional accountant, has a responsibility
for fair and objective information as possible to show. Marchnt and Wonder (4002) four key paradigms for ethical
decision-making have expressed.
1. Targeted integration: states that the goal justifies the means to. In other words, who follow Targeted integration
moral model - that is expressed a good income and good until you have any way to achieve it are justified. For
example, the goal is to increase a company's stock price. Who do not actually know what caused the change in
stock prices is but figures Accountants have an important impact. Thus, a model that ethics Targeted integration
expressed favorable stock price rise in profits even if manipulated through changes in accounting policies apply.
2.Rights and duties: the moral thought is expressed that all people have special rights and the rights of others
have a duty not to interfere. You might think that in this model as an "every person for himself" thinking. For
example, if someone has the right to receive bonus in each year, others have a duty not to interfere in that process.
Director is possible to obtain compensation for moral or immoral acts based on moral thinking, others do not
impede the performance of management.
3.Model of fairness: the ethics of decision makers who believe that all people should follow what they see, Tell.
The question arises, "What Are the people deserve? » Fairness model, in contrast to the results of a performance
measure operation. For example, an accounting of the number of years worked hard at business units certified
public accountants, qualified This is to be a partner. Other hand, a manager who will work with the frailty And
Boredom a show and unprofessional behavior that deserves an applause ethics of thinking is not fair.
4.Facts oriented models: based on this idea, what would be the people's spiritual and moral fact, do. Facts
oriented model of Directors requests that the intrinsic and inherent function to determine authenticity. Although
some managers distinction between moral behavior and moral conduct to know, but those who follow this line of
thinking to distinction between the two can not be distinguished. So when a manager to define ethical behavior is
believed to help a person have any difficulty in allocating assets as a result of helping is a spiritual practice.
Ethics:
Ethics is the science that somehow benefit approach, the proper conduct of any professional guidance and
practical explanation to determine the boundaries responsibilities is to be offers. Many well-known professional
principles and standards applicable to their professional ethics have been developed. The basic purpose of the
Standards of behavior, it is the responsibility Ethical towards society and the environment must be others. Ethics
can be personal and extra-personal communication behavior based on individual rights and responsibilities Luck
told the people in general, moral responsibility can be divided into three sections:
A( responsibility towards others in their personal lives
B) A person responsible for the career of their own and others'
C( The organization responsible for internal and external environment
Standards of conduct for any profession, it's important to make policy. These policies, such as the main features of
the profession, professional relationships with community members, professional relationships with each other
Finally, any member of the public relations profession in the covers. The rules of professional conduct is called in
professional accounting principles. [2]
Since accounting is a great feature and is a skill that requires expertise and has customers that are dependent on
the expertise, the result is considered as a profession. For professional accountant is obligated to look out for the
86
World Essays J. Vol., 1 (2), 85-93, 2014
interests of its clients. Accountancy profession is vital in today's modern world, because of the current economic
system without It can not exist. If you have any technical method for calculating the distribution of wealth and goods
in the world and they are not available, business will slow down the performance of financial markets, This is
dependent on your trades based on an accurate picture of the financial value of the assets exchanged do and
these images are drawn by the accountants.
Strong relationships, property rights, claim, assessment, downloads and liabilities, all of which are characterized by
their intellectual and social implications Who, What and who owns what and how much a person owes. All these
concepts are defined by accountants and office owners are relocating.
Since the financial activities and accounting are essential for the survival of our current world to facilitate these
activities, hence useful to consider accounting as a profession, and the role of Its underlying network and fuzzy
track complex financial relationships in today's world, it has become a business-critical services, like other
professions, is a moral command. [5]
Immediate assumption that the beliefs and values of each individual character of a conceptual system integration
simpler words, a person's moral philosophy. Then his moral philosophy into two
Categories the: idealist and the relative confidence
Relativism, moral philosophy from the perspective of a universal set of rules and moral standards do not exist.
People who have a high degree of relativism are unwilling to accept the rules of collective And that situations,
situations of moral and non-moral as well as individuals in determining whether a decision are involved, there is no
guarantee that a condition is moral behavior, Other locations will be considered in terms of morality. Those with a
low degree of relativism, the more likely compared to those with a high degree of relativism, moral laws and
regulations act.
Idealism, moral philosophy in which human welfare, is a milestone decisions. Individuals who have a high degree of
idealism, they must always act in a way that does not harm others. Those who are less idealism, Believe that in all
the circumstances it is not possible to prevent harm to others. So it should work fine if the price is easily hurt some
people did. [8]
According to research, the financial managers of companies that are idealistic moral perspective, provide more
quality information. And compared with those of relativistic less likely to manipulate earnings figures are involved.
[6]
History:
The first model developed primarily cognitive research in accounting ethics - ethical COLBERG have taken place.
This pattern was influenced by Piaget, psychology, cognitive psychology ethics interweaves Six stage of
development blends and offers the same rung of the ladder of perception, cognitive and moral progress of the
individual in three shows. COLBERG argues that moral judgment skills. May be developed by different people in
different ratios. COLBERG at work, another scholar reset, test subjects provided the definition of the test, a tool for
assessing the level of moral development of individuals. Baked hypothesis relies The questionnaire by respondents
marked and it can be analyzed and reached the point p is called the moral growth of each individual show. This is
due to the small scale and easy application, was used in a large number of accounting ethics research.
Thornton in 4000 in a study to examine the validity of the theoretical assumptions triple COLBERG pattern defined
test topics form of payment. The results showed that the validity of this assumption is the Question And ethics in
accounting research should be repeated because of low test scores define a linear relationship between the
discourse and behavior of professional accountants raised in previous research, is invalid.
Immediate vision to normally COLBERG controversial fallacy and argues that it is wrong, and suggests that this
model is based on a philosophical and not a scientific method for the analysis of ethical behavior "he said. The
scientific method, believed that immediate; manner measure , is preferred. She says that people, regardless of their
morals, their condition will affect the position of them on their judgment. Immediate pattern that underlies the
question of moral status, rather than on the level of moral development is Most focus on a thorough evaluation
criterion for assessing moral behavior. He believes that the focus of this model is the moral judgment of adults, so
the pattern is COLBERG very beneficial. This claim, Further research was based on questionnaires moral position,
is confirmed.
Immediate, moral philosophy into two categories, can be divided into relativistic and idealistic.
Accounting and Ethics:
Accounting is a fan of action to help people trace the effects of economic transactions have been developed.Its
main goal is to provide information about the financial affairs of a person or organization in the form of reports and
financial statements. The information For decision making of managers, owners, government, unions, creditors,
87
World Essays J. Vol., 1 (2), 85-93, 2014
suppliers, products, and company employees is used. It is noteworthy that the more complex the law is more
interested in the economy has increased the range of users of the information. [7]
Thus, the distinctive contours of the accountancy profession, the public acceptance of responsibility. From the
expectations of the profession, is very complex and the quality of services provided by professional accountants
should have confidence in maintaining public confidence in the profession Accounting for Professional Accountants,
as long as is possible, to offer their services at a level worthy of the trust of the community. Hence, at the highest
possible level of service to the accounting profession and the continuation of the service rules provide good quality
guarantee.
As a result of accounting ethics for professional accountants and those who rely on is important, and Professional
Accounting Services Accounting ethics and laws have been drafted to require that its members are entitled to a
level of restraint that is beyond legal requirements and regulations. [66]
The basic elements of character and professional ethics:

functional role, providing professional overlay, depending on local and culture Dependence of morality, of human
knowledge ,with clear language ,motivational presentations bring interdisciplinary. [4]
In most professions, such as medicine, law and accounting, and some of the above mentioned institutions and
organizations of social, political, economic or moral judgments that are formal and codified behavior, Practices and
professional responsibilities or members of the public or third parties to define and explain.
In an article ZIvnts factors as a basis for professional ethics articulates the factors are: [65]
A( professional autonomy of ethics
The operating system like any other professional ethics reflects the internal norms of professional and ethical
commitment to the profession and their professional organizations, not to take In terms of ethical dos and don'ts
imposed The sad or reminded them. For example, a professional accountant should be on issues such as honesty,
The accuracy, reliability, open to criticism and assessment of the environment, respect for subordinates and
friends, according to their own privacy and the privacy of individuals will Top.
B(Understanding of their professional
Foundation of ethics, professional self-understanding. Only people with an understanding of their professional work,
its philosophy and relationship with people's lives The moral sense are achieved and therefore, in their relations
with nature and the world around them, a feeling of commitment to those values are found.
C( objectivism, impartiality and lack of significant side

approved will be included objectivism and neutrality. Professional ethics and the person who employs his career,
was not irrational side towards source of sexual traits show.
D( going beyond the concept of livelihood
As long as the person involved, psychological issues may be less due to other issues. Sense of professional ethics
through its basic concept is emerging in the field. When people in their professional and business activities beyond
the level of material life are at least three levels of Science and Technology in their activities is sense. 6: Sense of
efficiency, effectiveness and output quality as value 4. Feeling of actually being useful service to people 2. Sense of
liberation through redistribution of power, opportunities and cash. [4]

of its degree of flexibility. No matter how high the level of commitment to the principles of professional ethics has a
higher degree. As the restrictions posed by the professional ethics is more rational and more efficient to implement
the organization's growth is stronger. The main factor for the development of group cohesion in a particular
profession. However, their group cohesion is affected by several factors. Some people believe that job satisfaction
increases make a commitment to professional ethics is But for her to believe that job satisfaction is job
dissatisfaction. Job dissatisfaction can lead to the formation of a professional ethics. Notification and inform
members of the latest news and emphasis on financial transparency and also sets the With other public and private
organizations and accepting group decisions Adopted by the majority opinion, and most importantly, providing the

conditions for fair competition and new markets can be useful in the development of the Code of professional
conduct.

Ways to Implement Ethical audit:
In cases where the auditors and their actions is considered a must for ethical choices related to work, an approach
based on moral laws have. On the other hand, those rules to regulate corporateMay expect that at least obtain
legislation favorable result oriented.
So, when authenticating to an organization's degree of compliance with ethical choices regarding the importance of
these issues for Be. Ethics in public life or in an organization, this Note will Individuals and members of the
community or an organization for compliance with the laws of society and that they had no part in formulating, Have
a moral obligation., There is the fact that the moral choices are made by the competent authorities. Additionally, a
community organization or a citizen of a country with almost anything like a sustained commitment to respect rules
and regulations of such institution. [2]
Hence, determining that all people moral and ethical characteristics that must be met, at least according to what is
common in the Western tradition. Emphasis on individual autonomy will lead to change people's opinions and their
concordance with valid legal norms, is legally and socially. [9]
Despite the ethical reasons for adherence to laws and regulations regarding the reasons for the acceptance or
rejection of an important responsibility There are certain implications. Tradeoff between moral rules and laws that
are useful results from them, is unacceptable So these people about how their actions conform with moral elements
decide. Ethical responsibilities and assignments A unique and special that starts and ends. Particular issue about
the members of a group or association of persons employed in a job there, These people obviously conform to
ethical issues as well as against all human Commitment toshould apply, compared with self-interest value most. In
such circumstances, something like a collective commitment to endorse and support of professional values there.
Procurement of appropriate evidence sufficient to create a culture of protecting the integrity of the ways that the
benefits of compliance with auditing standards, the auditor And nationals Which leads to the highest level, among
the specific responsibilities of the audit firm. So do not impose on the conduct of appropriate management And

Conclusions:
The legislative history reflects the fact that most laws, before the law as proposed, they are based on morality, that
is, over time, has become the law of morality. This suggests that "should" have established ethics
